Two 8's and two 3's

Using the numbers 8, 8, 3, 3 and using any mathematical operators, can you able to arrive at the solution as 24?

 Answer:

 There are several answers for this question. Some of them are listed below:
  • sqrt(8*8*3*3) = 24
  • [(8-3)!]/(8-3) = 120/5 = 24
  • [(3!*8)/3] + 8 = 24
  • 8/[(3-8/3)] = 8/ 1/3 = 24

Tricky equation

Suppose a=b. With this equation, I will prove that a + b = b in four steps. Find out where (in which step) I went wrong? Step one: if a=b, then a²=ab. Step two: Deduct b² from both: (a² - b²) = (ab - b²). Step three: (a + b) (a - b) = b (a - b). Step four: Deduct (a-b) from both: a + b= b. How is this possible? In which step lies the mistake? Answer: The mistake is in step three A-B=0. You cannot conclude that 4 = 2 just because 4 x 0 = 2 x 0.
